Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, who one of the Lord's angels visited and told her:

"Listen! You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus." (Luke 1:31) Before Jesus was even born John the Baptist predicted his coming

Reviews of: "The life of Jesus":

(and not in a good way) You made quite a few fantastic claims in there: virgin birth, walking on water, magical healing, etc. Do you have any historical references for all these fantastic claims? After all, extrodinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And no, the Bible doesn't really count because all of the New Testament was written from 60 AD onwards, heavily influenced by Paul.
